On the second day, Henggu got up early in the morning, and he knocked on Linghua's door: "Linghua, are you up?" You didn't talk to me all day yesterday. ”

He heard that there was no movement in the house, and knocked on the door again: "Linghua, don't you like me anymore, you want me to go in Anxian County, and now that Yang Xichi is helping, you don't want me to follow you......"

There was still no response from him, and his mood fell to the bottom: "I know, you told me that you want me to have my own things to do, and I already have a goal." He appeared again, I have been waiting for him for more than ten years, you know I will not let him go easily, now that I am gone, you have to take care. ”

He wanted to say something again, but he swallowed, he rubbed his eyes, glanced into the door with affection, and turned around to see Linghua looking him up and down with a puzzled expression.

"Henggu, what's wrong with you? I'll go downstairs and buy a pastry and come back, why are you leaving? Linghua took two bags of pastries and pushed the door into the house, sat down and rubbed his legs.

"You, why don't you walk without sound? What did you just hear? Henggu hurriedly sat down beside her and asked with a worried expression.

Linghua opened the paper bag, took out a mung bean cake and handed it to Henggu: "I heard 'I'm going, you have to take care'." ”

She looked at Henggu's face seriously: "Where are you going?" ”

Heng Gu's courage just now suddenly disappeared, he took a bite of the mung bean cake and said vaguely: "I went to inquire about the Yunzhong Chamber of Commerce last night, and everyone said that the chairman Zhang Kaiyuan is a good person, and thieves don't go to his house to steal things, because the things at home are given to the people." ”

Linghua responded casually: "It seems that Zhang Kaiyuan is a person who works for the welfare of the people." ”

She asked Henggu again with concern: "You said you were leaving, where are you going?" Do you want me to use 'Connoisseurship' to see what you just said? ”

Henggu is up: "No...... I just think it's him with Sun Lianran, which stimulates Sun Lianran to kill people and suck resentment. ”

"Him?" Linghua seemed to remember something.

"It's him, Yin Tianwu."

Zhang's house.

Yang Xichi stood in the middle of the courtyard with the money sword, and the maidservants of the Zhang Mansion surrounded the outside in three layers and three layers outside, watching the legendary Yang Daochang's actions.

Yang Xichi finished the routine rituals, walked to the place where the man in black had rummaged, and tried to test the orb in his hand, but the orb did not respond. He also pasted paper symbols in the center and four corners of the mansion, and instructed Zhang Kaiyuan to bury the jade carvings of divine beasts such as unicorns or pixiu in the northeast corner of the mansion.

"This formation can protect the peace of the house, don't tear off the rune paper at will, otherwise evil things will come again." Zhang Kaiyuan nodded when he heard it, and Yang Xichi was about to leave after he had explained it properly.

Zhang Kaiyuan has been in the business world all the year round, and he is familiar with the world, so he hurriedly shouted: "The Taoist chief stays." Thank you to the Taoist for solving problems for Zhang, Zhang specially held an afternoon banquet to thank the Taoist chief, and asked Yang Daochang not to dislike it. ”

Yang Xichi shook his head: "How come." The poor way is just doing what is within the bounds, how can it be meritorious. ”

Zhang Kaiyuan laughed and stepped forward to put his arm on Yang Xichi's shoulder: "Dao Chang is really modest. Come, the luncheon is ready, please move to the atrium. ”

As soon as he winked, the maidservants rushed in, and in a short time a table full of dishes was presented.

Yang Xichi entered the central hall and saw a huge plaque with the words "full of gold and jade" hanging in the center, and a broken bronze mirror hanging below.

The more he looked at the bronze mirror, the more familiar he felt, so he asked, "Zhang Shanxin, what is this?" ”

Zhang Kaiyuan thought that Yang Xichi liked his plaque, and boasted: "It's not a precious thing, it's just made of gold and powder, and the frame is also made of pure gold, which is so heavy!" Once it fell and smashed into a servant girl, smashing a big hole, hahahaha......"

Yang Xichi just looked at the fat-headed and big-eared Zhang Kaiyuan coldly, laughing and trembling, and asked again, "What's under the plaque?" ”

Zhang Kaiyuan retracted his expression when he heard this, and suddenly realized: "Oh! This one, this is from a business friend of Zhang. I thought that this thing was nothing peculiar, but who knew that it could not be broken or broken, and it did not change when hit with a hammer, it was even harder than a stone, which was wonderful! It's like my business, no one can break it, which should be a good omen! Daoist, you said yes, right? ”

Yang Xichi's expression did not change, and he knew more and more what this mirror was. He said "sorry", explained that the sect had other important matters, and that he would visit the mansion another day, and then left Zhang's mansion in a hurry.

He walked all the way to the second floor of Chunnuan Pavilion, and Linghua heard footsteps and opened the door: "Daochang Yang, I've been waiting for a long time." ”

Yang Xichi nodded and walked into the foyer and told Linghua about the remnant mirror.

"Zhang Kaiyuan has a 'connoisseurship' at home? But the Taoist chief can see it clearly? Linghua Zhengse.

Yang Xichi was very sure: "Poor Dao is sure that it is part of the Guanshi Mirror, if Miss Linghua doesn't believe it, she can go to Zhang's Mansion with Poor Dao to confirm." ”

"Then I'm going too!" Heng Gu said busily, "Multiple people have more hands, they can help." ”

Linghua patted his head: "I think it's multiple people with more pairs of chopsticks." ”

Yang Xichi chuckled: "It's okay, at that time, the two of you will put on Taoist clothes, pretend to be the same disciples of the poor road, and go with the poor road." ”

Linghua responded: "That's it." ”

Two days later, Yang Xichi sent a message to Linghua, saying that he would go to Zhang's mansion at noon today. There was still an hour before noon, and Yang Xichi came on horseback, and he brought two Taoist robes to Linghua and Henggu and asked them to change into them.

After tidying up, the three of them went downstairs, and suddenly heard a piercing scream, followed by a disheveled woman, running down the side street from the next street like crazy, shouting: "Help! Help me! ”

When she saw the Taoist priests dressed up by the three people on the street, she ran to hug Yang Xichi's thigh and knelt down and cried: "Daoist, please save me!" Zhang Kaiyuan of the Yunzhong Chamber of Commerce forced Liang to become a prostitute, I don't want him to force me, you save me! ”

The vendors on the street gathered around when they saw it, and a big brother about 30 years old obviously didn't believe her words: "Girl, don't talk nonsense, President Zhang is a great and kind person, my baked cake stall was bought by him at his expense, without him to help me, how could I be where I am today." ”

"That's it!" The surrounding vendors echoed one after another, and an eldest sister squeezed past the person next to her and said loudly: "My family was poor back then, and it was only after Zhang Shanren's relief that he survived, don't you want to say this, Zhang Shanren is not a person who does such a thing!" ”

Another person raised his hand and shouted: "I also believe in Zhang Shanren!" I also joined his rice farm, and I have money to spare every year, and my life is much better than before! ”

Seeing this, Heng Gu retorted: "Do you see that this woman is so thin and pitiful, she has no sympathy? How can a woman use such an excuse to frame someone? ”

Mizhuang's eldest brother immediately said: "Who knows if she couldn't seduce Zhang Shanren and ran out to beat a rake?" ”

"I think that's it, drag her to the government and let Master Li sentence her!"

"Take her to the government!"

"Take her to the government!"

Someone even reached out to drag the woman, and the woman was even more desperate when she heard that no one believed her words, her brows were furrowed, and a red mole on her left cheek was particularly conspicuous. She grabbed Yang Xichi hard, and screamed with teary eyes: "Dao Chief! What I said is true! I beg you, save me! ”

Linghua was just about to make a move, but Yang Xichi spoke. I didn't see any movement from his mouth, but I heard his voice be so thick that it pierced the eardrums of everyone present—

"Stop."

The vendors stopped to find the source of the sound. Linghua took advantage of everyone's stunned attention, held a person's arm with one hand, glanced at Heng Gu, and disappeared into the encirclement.

Linghua stretched his head and looked at the people downstairs looking left and right, and they all dispersed, presumably there will be new street rumors in Cloud City tomorrow.

The rescued woman was startled when she saw that she had suddenly arrived in another place, and desperately kowtowed to the three of them: "Thank you, thank you, thank you." ”

Yang Xichi helped the woman up, sat her down, and asked solemnly: "The girl said that Zhang Kaiyuan forced Liang to be a prostitute?" ”

"That's right, it's Zhang Kaiyuan! I'm sure it's him, you have to take my word for it! The woman said as she knelt down again.

Yang Xichi helped him weakly: "I want to believe your words, do you have a certificate?" ”

"This ......," the woman looked at the two men and hesitated slightly.

Linghua nodded and motioned to Heng Gu and Yang Xichi, took the woman's hand and led her to the back of the hall: "You come with me." ”

"This is my bedroom, they can't hear it, if there is anything you can tell directly, I will help you." Linghua asked the woman to sit on a wooden bench and poured her a cup of hot tea, and the woman drank all the tea in one go, holding the cup and thanking her.

"I was walking down the street that day, and all of a sudden someone put a head on my head and knocked me unconscious, and then I woke up in a room. They tied my hands and feet, stuffed my mouth, and the room was so dark that I couldn't see anything......" The woman said as she remembered the past, tears streaming down her face.

"I don't know how long it took for someone to open the door and come in, and I found that there were several other girls who had been robbed like me, all with their hands and feet tied and their mouths stuffed like me.

They didn't give us food, they only gave us some water, and we were so hungry that we didn't have the strength. Then someone came and took a girl, and I remember that she had a mole on the side of her left eyebrow, but I never saw her again......

Later, when they came to arrest me, I found out where I was...... I tried desperately to break free from their hands, but I couldn't, and I was beaten!

Mother Shen instructed her subordinates to change me into clothes like strips of cloth wrapped around my body, and asked me to go out and pour wine for those guests, but if I didn't comply, they would lock me up again in the dark and silent hut, without food or drink, and starve me to death! ”

There was fire in the woman's eyes, and Linghua saw endless grievances and hatred in her eyes. She added another cup of tea, and the woman took it and thanked her.

The woman drank the tea, and although there was warm tea, she couldn't stop trembling: "I don't want to be a starving ghost, I don't want to die in a place where no one knows about it for no reason."

I want to live, and I'm going to show this darkness in the light of day, to show those people how they are doing to us innocent people!

I didn't do anything wrong! It's just a normal walk on the road, why do you ...... me like this?"

Linghua stroked her face: "Girl, you have suffered. You are doing the right thing, no matter what, you can't give up your life easily, only by living, can you have a chance. ”

The woman nodded tearfully: "I think the same way, so I figured it out and went to pour wine for the guests, but I won't laugh, let alone make the guests happy." The customer who forced me to pick up will not look for me next time, and after a long time, Shen's mother felt that I couldn't make money, so she sent me to be a subordinate and serve the top card. ”

"Then how did you know about Zhang Kaiyuan?" Linghua asked her as gently as she could.

Hearing the name, the woman's emotions were visibly agitated, and she almost cried out: "He is the one who drove me to hell!" He was the one who made me suffer so much, and all the girls were because of him, and it was him! ”
